The real question comes down to this—how much effort did you put into caring about your own health?

It’s quite simple, everyone wants to be right when it comes to the topic of taking the COVID-19 vaccine. The truth is, while there are many theories out there circulating about the vaccine, there are a few things that will always remain factual no matter which side of the fence you fall on.

The first thing is—the new vaccine’s aim isn’t to cure the virus, it’s aim is to reduce the hospitalization rates caused by COIVD-19. In other words, the vaccine (and any vaccine’s purpose, for that matter) is to help build immunity against the virus. You can still get it, but you won’t be as sick (you may be asymptomatic).

The next fact that we have is the vaccine is available to most countries in the western hemisphere and in the US it’s being provided for free, which means anyone can get it regardless of health insurance, medical background, and immigration status.

And lastly, the vaccine does not utilize a live virus, but instead depends on new medical technology, which uses mRNA technology. This technology offers a piece of code that teaches our own body how to create a spiked protein, and then with an introduction of a foreign (but harmless body), our white blood cells increase, and our immune system begins to fight this protein. The mRNA is discarded.

These are all facts. But there are a few things, which aren’t addressed, which are also facts. It is factual that the vaccines have side-effects—all medical drugs do and this is common knowledge. Side effects can range from the common ones such as our body reacting to the introduction of a foreign body. This is expected and it tells us the vaccine is working as it is intended.

When you get a common cold, you experience symptoms. The cold virus doesn’t produce these symptoms—it’s our bodies reacting to the virus. Our bodies hike up our internal temperature (fever) in an effort to kill the virus with heat, it creates more mucus (runny nose and coughing) to trap and expel the virus and so on.

Our bodies work in a similar fashion to the vaccine. It’s expected. But then, there are symptoms that aren’t expected or aren’t wanted such at blood clots, which was seen with Johnson & Johnson, and AstraZeneca. These symptoms are rare, but they are there.

The truth about the vaccines isn’t whether or not it’s good for us—the truth is whether or not we trust the government (and the pharmaceutical companies) to tell us whether or not it’s good for us. So, let’s ask some questions shall we?

1. Have you ever taken a non-prescription drug? (aspirin, Tylenol etc.)
2. Have you ever taken a drug prescribed to you by a doctor?
3. Have you ever taken medication for a cough, fever, or cold?
4. Are you on any form of birth control?
5. Have you ever been vaccinated (previous to COVID)?
6. Do you take any medication for a chronic illness (Diabetes, Asthma etc.)
7. Have you ever had cancer treatment?
8. Have you ever done surgery?
9. Have you ever taken an x-tray, ultrasound, MRI etc.?
10. Have you ever gotten blood/needed blood transfusion?
11. Did you ever need an organ transplant of any kind?
12. Have you ever been to the hospital to get a check-up?

If you’ve answered yes to any of the above questions, then I have some news for you. You’ve put more trust in medical science (and the government) than you’re willing to admit. And at any point you’ve taken anything from the medical field, you’ve already given them the permission to ‘experiment’ with you.

But maybe you may tell me, they’ve put years of research into those medications. The COIVD-19 vaccine was rushed and not FDA approved and thus, it cannot be trusted. Maybe, you think the problem isn’t the technology, but it’s the risk you have to take. Let’s do another questionnaire, shall we.

1. Have you ever done drugs?
2. Do you drink/have you ever drunken alcohol?
3. Have you ever participated in pre-martial/extramarital sex?
4. Have you ever had unprotected sex?
5. Have you ever eaten from a fast food restaurant?
6. Do you take supplements (vitamins etc.)
7. Have you ever been on a diet?
8. Do you eat any meat/have you ever eaten meat (poultry, pig, fish, beef etc.)?
9. Have you ever bought your food from a grocery/supermarket?
10. Have you ever eaten from a sit-down restaurant?

If you’ve answered yes to any one of these questions, I have news for you. You’ve engaged in some risky behavior, some of which are hazardous to your health. A few things (such as taking supplements) are not even FDA approved. And the meat and dairy industry is riddled with callbacks, problems with bacterial infection, and questionable practices.

If you’ve purchased food from a supermarket or grocery, you have no idea where that food was grown or how it was packaged, and yet you trust that it will bring nourishment to your body.

The questions here aren’t in fact placed to shame anyone. In fact, I’ve answered yes to a few of these myself. The issue here isn’t whether or not we should be skeptics. It’s when should we be skeptics. Being a skeptic isn’t a bad thing, but the truth of the matter is if you’re going to question something that’s on the market to help slow the spread of COVID-19, you might as well question everything the government and pharmaceutical companies have put before you.

And if you do question them, great. It’s good to question things. But always remember, it’s better to listen with understanding, than to speak from opinion.
